Does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

No one's complained about Heritage on the Guardian thread so I assumed he probably was an ilxor

No idea, but he is total shit.

yeah, if you are an ilxor put your hand up so's i can FP you

It seems p likely a lot of journos might lazily steal ideas from lurking in forums like ours anyways.

That Redbubble one is so so annoying.

You seriously think nobody outside of ILX has noticed the epidemic of twee marketing and had to "steal" the idea? I love this place but I would have to say that's unlikely.

come on, we are at the very edge of human thought here!

I can almost touch the singularity.

Heritage seems to be constantly in the lifestyyyyle bits of the guardian recently - i can only assume he has alimony or a sudden credit card debt or something that requires a lot of G2 guff to support it.

not sure if this fit but something about it makes my skin crawl http://www.uppingyourelvis.com/

bracketing that with the awful "be more dog" campaign

@O2 Have you got any worthless offers at stores I never shop in? I mean besides the three you sent me today. Any deals on asbestos?

@rmkf Ouch! We have lots of offers to suit everyone. Have you downloaded our Priority Moments app?

the tone is essentially ned flanders

I think Heritage does a lot of liveblogging stuff, so someone's surely complained about him somewhere.

I found today that they don't make MAILER-DAEMON messages like they used to:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at engine02-21434-2.icritical.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

This isn't what we were told Skynet would be like.

Shed Your Tears
Well, folks, the time for Yummy Rummy's December 3 send-off is finally upon us. We've put pennies in its eyes, and are settin' it free on the soft currents of the ever-after. Gone but never forgotten. Or just gone until we're out of other ideas.

So here's what you should be doing:

1. If you're holding on to Yummy Rummy plays, use them now. After December 3, they're just effigies for posterity. Our antiques guy doesn't forecast much worth-accumulation on 'em either...
2. If you've got unexpired prizes, breathe easy. We played for keeps; they're still yours.
If you need a place for your thoughts or fond memories, do that here. And hey, we're not saying so long forever, just for now. Yummy Rummy could be back - as a dove. Or a game. Or maybe as a spirit that pushes out the clouds and lets the sun shine.

Love,
GrubHub

I should have been clearer: I wasn't suggesting we came up with the idea of hating this marketing angle, just riffing more generally on journos trawling discussion forums to spark ideas for stories (not outright go "oh wait, i never thought of that!" really).

Not entirely on topic but it seemed appropriate

I guess as a "test" you can try ordering one that says:

letting Ian Watkins rape my baby

TOO SOON

sarahel u fucking disgust me

chinese food is sick

revised 'summer girls' lyrics 4u

As are we all

the worst thing is that i now have 'summer girls' stuck in my head

i am too old and too American

^ the least of your worries.

Ah ha ha

yeah plunger thing was a very elaborate joek I hold my hands up!

10 bizarre objects found in 'cool' offices

we inherited a telecom company's design choices when we moved into their old offices. cringeworthy, the lot of them. (actually, the mural in the boardroom is well done but we should paint over it as it's one enormous branding exercise. and the table with the map of nyc is ok)

(actually, we have stunk up the place ourselves with the neon heart and all the record label specific art from the last place (we moved from an old ex-record label headquarters and had bought a lot of stuff relating to them for decoration))

Like the Beeb's use of scarequotes around cool tbh.

I think I posted this before but this Mini is a meeting room at Rackspace

http://beautyandthebriefcaseblogs.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/office-design-london-rackspace.jpg

The reception area looks like a Mirror's Edge interior

They also have an indoor garden with swings.

I am horribly sorry, but I think that reception is gorgeous. 'Mini as a meeting room' makes me want to kill, though.

lol yeah i would have no problem working at a place with a car in the middle of it but the second someone made me sit in it to have a meeting i'd tender resignation
